Hemmingway and his 3 siblings came here completely feral. I set them up in two attached XL dog crates, one serving as a living quarters, the other as play/eat/litter box area. The first month they were housed in my living room which barely ever gets used, so that they could decompress and get used to the smells and sounds in the house without being exposed to the craziness. After that month I moved them into the dining room which is one with the kitchen and which is where things are happening in our house. When they went for their spay and neuter appointment several months later we were not sure if they'd ever become friendly, apart from Hemingway who would approach me when I brought in their food and would let me touch him. Hemingway is a little bit shy in the beginning but the absolute sweetest snuggle boy who’s really looking for someone who can give him the attention that he craves but doesn’t get at the rescue with so many other cats around. He loves to sleep in my bed. He’s got the absolute silkiest fur and doesn’t shed when you stroke him. Although he goes outside here, he'd be fine as an indoor only cat. He’s really such an easy going and sweet boy, I can’t believe he hasn’t gotten adopted yet. There’s no easier cat than Hemmy, he’s the perfect kitty.
